Re: colourless xemacs on NT :-(

Hi,
after installing b16 (also after applying , I only have a grayscaled XEmacs which is sort
of
colourless so to speak. Funny thing is, when I look into the
customisation variables (eg font-lock-faces) I see the correct faces
displayed there, ie the correct colours are shown. Bugger is, they
aren't used, so it seems, some global variable has been messed up
with.
If I set colours by hand using set-face-foreground, everything looks
fine, but this is tedious :-)
Has anybody else seen this feature? Dmitry, was your trouble along the
same lines?
Hi Norbert,
My trouble was that a number of lisp files were not recompiled by the
build process (which is probably a fault in the makefile - I didn't
try to figure it out honestly), namely those are .elc files that are
not compiled, but are included in the elc tarball:
about.elc
alist.elc
apropos.elc
autoload.elc
blessmail.elc
build-report.elc
callers-of-rpt.elc
check-features.elc
cl-compat.elc
cleantree.elc
config.elc
cus-dep.elc
cus-edit.elc
cus-face.elc
cus-load.elc
custom-load.elc
disass.elc
disp-table.elc
etags.elc
files-nomule.elc
finder.elc
font-lock.elc
font-menu.elc
font.elc
gnuserv.elc
help-macro.elc
hyper-apropos.elc
info.elc
ldap.elc
lisp-mnt.elc
msw-font-menu.elc
multicast.elc
mwheel.elc
package-admin.elc
package-get.elc
package-info.elc
package-ui.elc
picture.elc
rect.elc
sound.elc
symbol-syntax.elc
symbols.elc
tty-init.elc
userlock.elc
view-less.elc
wid-browse.elc
wid-edit.elc
x-compose.elc
x-faces.elc
x-font-menu.elc
x-init.elc
x-iso8859-1.elc
x-misc.elc
x-mouse.elc
x-scrollbar.elc
x-select.elc
x-win-sun.elc
x-win-xfree86.elc
And I had old versions of these files lying around in the location
where I install XEmacs. I gather something in the fonts handling has
changed since my version of the above files (which was probably even
much older that b15 actually), so it stopped working at all. This was
the reason for my problems. Hope it helps.
